Mr. Trebek goes to Washington

Newsmakers get over the pain of not having a category named in their honor by participating in "Jeopardy!'s" "Power Players Week." NBC's Chuck Todd, CNN's S.E. Cupp and author Jonathan Franzen do battle in the opener, a mere warmup to the main event: Thursday's appearance of Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn. He's there to raise money for USO and raise the spirits of Stuart Smalley.

3:30 p.m. KARE, Ch. 11

Happily ever after

Go ahead and sign up Melissa McCarthy for the next three "Ghostbusters" movies. Her schedule just cleared up. "Mike & Molly," the sitcom that never fully served its talented star, bids good night after six seasons with a one-hour episode in which it's finally revealed whether McCarthy was playing Mike or Molly.

7 p.m. WCCO, Ch. 4

Something wicked this way goes

The governor may have been celebrating Minnesota's fishing opener over the weekenf, but the captains are pulling back their nets in the Season 5 finale of "Wicked Tuna." The one-hour episode is followed by a "Reel Talk Live," in which the participants reveal behind-the-scenes details, answer fan questions and recommend the perfect wine to go with pan-fried trout.

8 p.m. National Geographic Channel
